    • I gather you and @curious don't understand track funding   Both of you are so wrong it is laughable. @curious show us all in financial numbers when Racing paid its way.  
    • You miss the point as always.  If you win backing winners on NZ races (a remote possibility) with overseas book makers then your conscious will force you to put some of your winnings back into NZ Racing.
    • Karis Teetan has a quality book of rides at Happy Valley on Wednesday night, spearheaded by Young Champion in the feature Class Two Daisy Handicap (1,200m). A drop back in trip to 1,200m for his last two starts has seen a return to form for John Size’s Zoustar galloper, recording seconds both times – most recently by a nose to Group performer Beauty Waves with Teetan on board. “It’s pretty good to see him doing what he’s been doing lately because he was a bit disappointing, but it’s nice that...View the full article
    • Pride Of Jenni (Pride Of Dubai) has taken a step closer to her second-up assignment with a gallop at Caulfield. Ciaron Maher took advantage of taking a small team of horses away from Cranbourne for gallops at Caulfield on Tuesday morning. One of those horses was evergreen Trelawney Stud bred mare Pride Of Jenni who is building towards a start on Saturday week. Maher indicated the Gr.1 Australian Cup (2000m) at Flemington was the likely next assignment for Pride Of Jenni while the Gr.1 Queen Of The Turf Stakes (1600m) at Randwick next month is also under consideration. Pride Of Jenni resumed her autumn campaign finishing third to Tom Kitten in the All-Star Mile (1600m) at Flemington on March 7. Maher said Pride Of Jenni had taken natural improvement from the run and galloped strongly on her own at Caulfield. “Dec (Declan Bates) said she was wanting to pull him in half early in the gallop, so that’s always good to see,” Maher said. “She had a nice blow after her first-up run where she ran pretty quick time, fresh up, so she will take natural improvement and she wasn’t here (this morning) to bring her on or anything, it was just a tick over gallop. “I’m quite happy with how she came through her first-up run. Her weight is good, her action is good and she just had an easy time this morning. “The Australian Cup or the Queen Of The Turf, is next, but at this stage the Australian Cup. “You would think Flemington is more chance of being drier than Sydney, but the main thing is she came through it well and we’ll track towards the Australian Cup.” View the full article
    • Trainer Jamie Richards hopes Karaka graduate Storming Dragon (Star Turn) can turn his consistency into a hard-earned win when he tackles the Class 3 Hydrangea Handicap (1200m) at Happy Valley on Wednesday night. “He’s running really well,” Richards said. “He just costs himself at the start and he doesn’t travel very well for the first half of the race. “It looks like he wants to go further, but when you step him up in trip, he lets you down a little bit. He just needs everything to go perfectly for him – he’s getting down in the ratings now.” A three time winner in Hong Kong Storming Dragon was sold by Kilgravin Lodge at the Ready To Run Sale for $330,000 to Jamie Richards and Andrew Williams Bloodstock and was placed in a trial in New Zealand before being exported to Hong Kong. Richards, who surpassed 100 Hong Kong career wins in February, saddles five runners on Wednesday with Regrowth Winner (Hellbent), Happy United (NZ) (Sweynesse), Trendy Rush (Star Turn) and Swagger Bro (Capitalist) his other entries.
